Storyboard Text

Come be my assistant!﻿

Go to Santa Fe. Talk. Talk too much. Talk as if you had too many drinks. ﻿Get people to eavesdrop. Say a number of things about us you aren't supposed to. Finally, I don't care how you manage it, say we are building an electric rocket.

The object of the project is to produce a practical military weapon in the form of a bomb in which the energy is released by a fast_neutron chain reaction. ﻿
